9/11 Remembrance Ceremony
On Sept. 11, President Jebb welcomed Mahwah Mayor Jim Wysocki and Brigadier Gen. Lisa Hou, the Adjutant General and Commissioner of the New Jersey Department of Military and Veterans Affairs, to speak at the 9/11 Remembrance Ceremony. The event honored the tragic event and lives lost 22 years ago, as well as all the lives that have been lost and affected since then. “We saw our fellow Americans respond to the worst kind of evil with the best of our collective humanity,” Gen. Hou said of the first responders. “They risked their lives so that others might live.”

On Sept. 13, a part-time job fair, hosted by the Cahill Career Center, was held in Friends Hall. From 1-3 p.m., there were more than 40 employer booths where representatives handed out branded pens, colorful magnets and, most importantly, job applications.
